Freeway 'stunt' motorcyclists caught

Police have nabbed three motorcyclists who allegedly filmed each other
as they performed stunts on a Melbourne freeway.

Concerned motorists phoned police yesterday afternoon, saying the
motorcyclists were riding in a dangerous manner on the Eastern
Freeway.

Police said they were told that a group of four riders was performing
stunts and that one of the group was using a hand held video camera,
while riding, to record their antics.

Shortly after 3.30pm (AEST) members of the Force Response Unit found
the riders, though only three of the four stopped when intercepted on
Lonsdale Street in the city.

They are expected to be charged with failure to maintain proper
control of their motor vehicles and other traffic offences, police
said.

Alfred is of the opinion:

Sounds to me like they had pretty decent control of their motor vehicles.
"Acting like complete nitwits at the wrong time and in the wrong place", on
the other hand, sounds like a pretty good fit.
